Free Home Improvement Permits

The City of Mission Viejo created a program called “Improve Don’t Move” giving homeowners incentive to remodel their homes. Effective through July 4, 2012, the program allows for home improvement permits to be issued FREE of charge until funding limits are reached. Now is the time to add a room addition, spruce up the kitchen or design a custom bathroom instead of moving. Although some homeowners and contractors skip the permitting process, permits offer valuable protections and peace of mind for any remodeling project.

Don’t Cut Corners

Each city is different, but if you’re caught by the city without a permit for your Orange County home addition or remodel you could be charged up to 10 times what the original permit fee would have been. In addition, the city could force you to remove and re-do any work that is not in compliance with the appropriate codes. For example, if the original permit would have cost you $500, the city’s fine could easily rack up to $5,000 in addition to hundreds or thousands of dollars in replacement and repair costs. You should also be aware that any work done without a permit will need to be disclosed when selling your home which can, and will, significantly decrease its value. Have your contractor or a design + build firm, such as Sea Pointe Design & Remodel handle the permitting process for you.Having relationships with the building departments in cities throughout Orange County is also an added bonus which makes the permitting process painless with little inconvenience for the homeowner.
